Board to consider Barbasol tax break

“They’ve been a great company and I’m glad to see them expand,” board Member Rick Ewing said.

Members will tentatively vote on the request at its next meeting, June 26.

Board members discussed the possibility of changing the bowling club into a sports team for next school year’s winter sporting season at an estimated cost of $2,400.

Wolfe and Marrah said the option would be a good way to get kids involved who normally might not get involved with another extracurricular activity.

With the enthusiasm its first year, members thought the transition would be a good sporting option, and they will continue to discuss it further the next few months.

Marrah said the construction to Edison Elementary School to install air conditioning and make restrooms Americans With Disabilities Act accessible is now underway.

Wolfe asked when the board could consider a similar project for Taft Intermediate School. Ewing said after the Edison project is complete, the district will have a better idea on the turnover so that it can decide on Taft in the future.

“This gives us the benefit of trail,” Ewing said. “We can see what the pitfalls might be and do an even better job next time.”

The board ended in executive session for personnel matters. No action was taken.
